Who Hillary Clinton Epp? - Reno Omokri

On Election Day 2016, I urged all my friends to go out and vote for Donald Trump with the following message:

“Get out and vote for the unborn fetus, get out and vote for God ordained marriage between a man and a woman, get out and vote against transgender bathrooms, get out and vote against Roe V Wade, get out and vote for Donald J. Trump! He might not be perfect, but he will promote those conservative values that have kept a check on the moral fabric of society and nominate conservative Supreme Court Justices,”

’I had called. So many African Americans and Black Africans were appalled by my support for Donald Trump ever since my interview on the BBC on November 1st, 2016 when I called for Africans and others eligible to vote in the US elections to vote Donald Trump.

And why were my people so appalled? Because we are an emotional people who take decisions based on what we want right now rather than what we want eventually. Most African Americans voted for Hillary because they bought into the lie peddled by the mainstream media that Trump is a racist. Most Black Africans supported Hillary because they did not want Trump to clamp down on immigration into the US.

But my people failed to take into account the big picture! What are our cultural values as a Race? Do we as Black people, whether African American or Black African, really support gay rights and gay marriage? Trust our copy cat culture, if Hillary had been elected she would have strengthened the gay marriage lobby and her Supreme Court nominees would have made it a reality and the next thing you know we would want to copy it hook line and sinker.

As a race, we suffer disproportionately from abortions more than any other race in America. African Americans and Black Africans make up 13% of the US populations yet 37% of all abortions in the US are done by Black women. It has gotten to the point where the most dangerous place for a Black child to be is in its own mother’s womb! Can we afford to continue with such a shameful record?

We need somebody that is committed to ending Roe V Wade and outlawing the practice of on demand abortion. I believe in a woman’s right to choose but that right is asserted by any woman the minute she chooses to have unprotected sex.

But let me get technical. What did Hillary Clinton do for Nigeria or Africa when she was Secretary of State? My people are just too sentimental and forget how she dithered and resisted naming Boko Haram as a terrorist group. We have forgotten how she led the effort to use the Leahy Law to frustrate Nigeria’s efforts to buy weapons from the US and when we could not buy from them she and her contemporaries also frustrated our efforts to buy from Israel.

The annoying thing is that it was her disastrous intervention in Libya that led to the escalation of the Boko Haram insurgency because the overthrow of Gaddafi destabilized much of North and West Africa by putting sophisticated light weapons in the hands of non state actors like Boko Haram.

And yet when we as a nation were faced with the consequences of her actions she would not help us. Nigeria was reduced to buying weapons for cash on the Black Market. The thing is that Gaddafi may have been a nasty piece of work but at least he made Libya stable.

Today, ISIS has a foothold in Libya and from there supports insurgents like Boko Haram and Al Shabbab who are causing instability in Nigeria and Kenya.

Our follow follow is too much. In real economic terms what did we stand to gain from Hillary Clinton? Though I have been a lifelong Republican since first coming to America as a nine year old, I suspend that status in 2008 to support a fellow Black man, President Obama out of purely primordial reasons (he is Black as I am) but to be honest, what has Africa and Nigeria gained from eight years of Obama in the White House?

He never visited Nigeria. He never packaged any special economic package for Nigeria or Africa. Say whatever you want to say about former President George W Bush but no other US President has been as radical in his support to Africa as Bush number 43! For giving more than $5 billion in humanitarian aid to Africa annually, President Bush goes on record as having given more assistance to Sub Saharan Africa than any other president including President Obama!

AIDS and Malaria are some of our biggest challenges in Africa and Bush met us at the point of our need. Before President George W Bush intervened in the fight against HOV/AIDS, only 100,000 Africans were on antiretrovirals but in 2003 he set up the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and by the time he left office in 2009 that number had grown to 2 million. When Congress resisted his efforts for funding to the time of $1.2 billion to fight malaria in Africa in 2007 Bush persuaded them by saying “There’s no reason for little babies to be dying of mosquito bites around the world."

Now I ask you, what similar effort have President Obama and Hillary put forward while they had power? Yes Obama has held summits like the first US/Africa Leaders Summit and the US Africa Business Summit but do we eat summits? What came of it other than talk and mostly Obama talking down at African leaders in a way he would never do with Asian leaders.

At least with Trump we know that he will take on ISIS and other radical Islamic groups and that includes Boko Haram! Moreover, Trump has pledged to curb China’s global dominance and to do that he would have to match China dollar for dollar in Africa and when China and the US compete Africa gains.

But be that as it may I am very proud to have publicly supported Donald Trump from the beginning to the end. Where are all those people who insulted me for my support for Donald Trump? They all seem to have gone missing in the ‘other room’!

Yes oo, WHO LINDa IKEJI,hausa AND MUSLIMS MADAM PRESIDENT HELP HUH? the god of freeborn and Donald trump has prove u all wrong that. IF HIS WITH U,U ARE MORE THAN A TRILLIONS where is una madam cowed huh? So all her supporters don't have voters card huh? Shame to u all..

Lol... Just for the sake of Israel,and hopefully an end to terrorist attacks all over the world,Trump all the way please!As for his threats, those are just political nothingness,he'll obviously be checked_matted! #Peace

The same question Im asking you,"who your article epp?" Whether we like it or not,US headache to a large extent becomes our headache being the leader of the free world.You may support Trump,or Tramp but truth is ,there is a lesson to be learnt from Hillary's emergence as presidential CandidateIn democratic politics there is no ‘two for the price of one’, which Hillary had always peddled; there are no “political couples”. The politician’s career must be individual and separate from family ties.There are already women presidents and prime ministers in many countries. But for a woman to have reached the presidency of the most powerful country in the world would have been a change of great political and symbolic transcendence.In this sense, the disillusion is understandable. But there are many reasons to be proud of Hillary’s campaign, even if she lost. Regardless of what people thought of her, one has to acknowledge her many values. She had a difficult campaign, and it is remarkable that given the enormous pressure on her to throw the towel in, she fought until the very end. Most importantly, thanks to her great performance she has now made it possible so that, in the future, being a woman will not be an obstacle to reaching the presidency of the United States or even Nigeria

Reno...I have never read your articles before, don't know what made me read today...dude, you have brain..how about your com run as president of Nigeria? I love your take on gay people an marriage...Reno for president‎

Reno...I have never read your articles before, don't know what made me read today...dude, you have brain..how about your com run as president of Nigeria? I love your take on gay people an marriage...Reno for president‎

Reno...I have never read your articles before, don't know what made me read today...dude, you have brain..how about your com run as president of Nigeria? I love your take on gay people an marriage...Reno for president‎

At least she won the peoples vote meaning most Americans prefers her to be a better candidate. so she isn't all that bad like you paint her to be. Reno, why don't you be man enough and tell Nigerians the actual reason why US refuses to sell Arms to your fail government??? ‎

Reno, Clinton foundation through nafdac and UNICEF has invested much more in Africa and Nigeria...of course you and yours in government at the time where too busy wakking the donations in the name of capacity building... hypocrite!

For the 1st time I agree with reno.even though v neva bin to america I still supported trump.i got a lot of bashing on foreign magazines on facebook for advocating for trump.i agree wiyh reno on the issue of gadaffi and libya.if obama or america hadnt wade into the matter in libya,libyans would still be njoyin the work of gadaffi but now libyans r regretting

a.k.a EDWIN CHINEDU AZUBUKO said....The last i check, we no get light and fuel price never come down to #80 so fuck america bcos am not one abeg... Make we talk wetin concern us......***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***

Trump has no experience whatsoever about Politics and he might not even carry out all those things he said during his campaign but most American people are still scared!No one knows what he's gonna do or not do...Thousands of protesters rail against Trump right now in the streets of US, but my believe is he is definitely going to look into these 3 things...

TerrorismImmigrationInternational Trade..

These are key major problems of the US and he is going to face them for sure and u know what will happen when tackles these issues even the innocent will suffer so WHO DONALD TRUMP SEF GO HELP?

Reno you are right as usual. Obama and Hillary didn't help anyone. I see the hand of God in Trump's victory. I don't see why people compare Trump with Buhari. Trump is an entrepreneur, a man with ideas who has achieved a lot on his own steam whereas Buhari is a deadwood. We wish America luck and a return to God's values

SHUT THE FUCK UP RENO OMOKRI SHE DOESN'T KNOW U NEITHER DO D DEMOCRATS AS WELL AS THEIR CITIZENS I CAN SEE HOW UNINTELLIGENT U ARE TO SUPPORT SOMEONE LIKE TRUMP.....TO THINK U ARE BLACK ITS SO DISAPPOINTING.

I won't blame Reno...he and his principal GEJ/PDP also preached a similar message of divisiveness and hatred. They divided Nigeria along the tribal and religious lines. I saw this same write up somewhere on facebook this morning on a PDP guy's page. Boko haram insurgency started in 2009, Al shabab way earlier than that. Tell me thw correlation of Ghadaffi removal put guns in their hands. It was rather the failure of GEJ and Nigeria government that gave the terrorists as well as the militants the teeth to bite. Buhari government too is taking things lightly with the militant both in Niger delta and my south west Lagos/Ogun states. He will be blamed later for not acting decisively. Criminals are criminals and should not be allowed to hold the nation to ransome. Back to Reno...Go and study the international politics as well as history and facts about issues raised in your well written but biased write-up very well and stop allowing your local political sentiments deride your sense of good judgement next time you want to analyse issues.

Stupid people, Reno am sure your mouth will smell alot. Weren't you in support in the ousting of Gaddafi then? How many of you agreed Gaddafi was holding Libya strong, the same media made everyone believed Gadaffi was a tyrant and nobody saw the good side of him. Now you're talking as if you weren't in support then. Idiot!

Reno doesn't even know you, abeg who your comment epp? See minutes dying on top another person matter,its glaring u are an illiterate, did u read the article at all? Mofo. Please u guys, Buhari and Trump should never be used in d same sentence.

@kunta what has people with political experience done for your country? Let take our so called president for example, he pushed himself tru with full force and after coming in he became so clueless, Experience my foot.

She didn't really help Africans thru ghoul her foray in politics , she might not now. Obama didn't do much. Trump might not, but at least he will send a strong message for us to develop ourselves cos he's a no nonsense man.

Bonita all I see in your write up is women right. As a woman good, but that is not the issue here. Immorality n terrorism is killing this world. I get where Reno is coming from, let's look deep and pray Donald Trump will fix some of these things. Let's not be follow follow cos we are scared he might block us from entering US. If he does, we sit in our country and try fixing it for a change.

Reno or what is your name? WHo dis article epp? I was almost falling for you with the first paragraphs until you think that a relationship has to be beneficial before you consider it worthy. I am a democrat - you are republican. Dont ever mix issues with such things like weapon purchase to rights of women. It does not make any sense. It is obvious you are still licking the wounds of combat. Grow up.

Only time ever I agreed with Reno...I'm open minded and a realist...not a follow...I am for truth and justice and not emotions or sentiments....Reno is 100% spot on and I never knew a day would come that I would say this

Beggi beggi Africa, must we want something from other countries? people are not even ashamed about the fact that our so-called great country is asking for aid, meanwhile our govt loots the national coffers dry, plus the aid these countries hand out. If you want guns make them yourselves, you want Boko-Haram on a watch-list create your own bloody list. These foreign aids are a plague to any integrity, to any so-called sovereignty we claim we have. Later when they come and tell you to be pro-gay, you will be forming "how dare they?"

Abeg tell them Mr Reno.Who is that fella that is listing what Hilary did? You are simply stupid and make no mistake when I say stupid, it's not an insult as Nigerians perceive the word to be. It means you have no clue of what you are saying, we are not talking about her girl scout work, but her work based on decisions. In the words of President Trump; she has experience of 30yrs, but those experiences are muddled up with poor decisions and bad experiences
